This collaboration joins the esteemed lineup of Linda Farrow’s partnerships with leading fashion houses such as Jeremy Scott, Dries Van Noten, and Matthew Williamson. Bea Bongiasca and Linda Farrow broughttogether the best of both collections, offering a wide range of chic, playful and fun ultimately wearable sunglasses.
I have always been a big fan of Linda Farrow sunglasses, so that was already a source of excitement. Eyewear and jewelry share a common bond in that they both adorn the face, so we had to consider how each piece would frame and enhance the wearer.

The collaboration is a modern interpretation of the 1960’s and 1970’s pop culture, merging the aesthetics of both the Bea Bongiasca and Linda Farrow worlds, Bea’s influence is incorporated in the shiny metallic elements, and vibrancy of colors; lime green, pink, and orange hues that envelop cat-eye sunglasses and classic black frames. Bea explains, “The black frames with the four different colored enamel vines are perhaps my favorite, as they truly represent both of our design identities.”
This capsule collection includes a variety of shapes, offering a fresh and contemporary perspective that elevates both brands to embody high fashion and functionality.
The retail pricing for these sunglasses starts at $350/270 GBP.
